CUSTOMER PROFILE

Our customer is based in the Quebec province and specializes in food manufacturing for private brands. They pride themselves on offering a diverse selection of top-notch condiments, sauces, and spices that elevate culinary experiences. In their pursuit of expanding production capacity, they have recently established a state-of-the-art factory.

CUSTOMER NEEDS

Our customer needed to apply labels on their products, print expiry date, and lot number. To meet their growing production demands, they sought a top-of-the-line label applicator capable of high performance and rapid application. Additionally, the customer required the flexibility to work with both clear and opaque labels, all while operating within limited production space.

THE CHALLENGE

Given the diverse range of products they offer; our customer required a labeler and printer system that could facilitate quick and seamless label changes. The ability to switch effortlessly between clear and opaque labels posed an additional challenge, as it entailed working with two different materials and necessitated a more complex setup and machinery.

THE SOLUTION

With the expectation of introducing multiple new products in the future, adaptability was a key factor for their chosen machine. Furthermore, the limited space in their production area added an extra dimension to the considerations for equipment selection. Doverco conducted a needs analysis for the client in order to propose the perfect solution that would enable them to increase their production and performance while considering the constraint of limited space. The Nita labeler XP100 wrap, a small machine, very performant and easy to use, combined with a Markem Imaje 9330 printer was the perfect solution for their needs.

The Nita XP100 All Servo Prism Wrap (Spin-In-Place) is the most technologically advanced label application system designed for precision orientation and application of clear and opaque labels to round bottles and other round containers. Servo and Pneumatic managed belts, a built-in orientation system (cameras and sensors) and stainless-steel gates control your containers and apply labels with marksman accuracy.

The Markem-Imaje 9330 is a versatile cost-efficient inkjet that prints for more than 8,000 hours non-stop. The specially developed Intelli’Ink portfolio ensures optimal coder performance and flexibility when coding different packing materials.

THE BENEFITS

The changeover process is incredibly swift, thanks to the integration of all product recipes into the Nita software. Switching between different products takes only a matter of minutes. The advanced technology of Nita’s label applicator allows for seamless compatibility with both clear and opaque labels. As for the Markem Imaje printer, operating it is a breeze. All the necessary information is entered per SKU, and initiating production is as simple as selecting the corresponding product recipe and pressing start.
